Easy Microwave Alfredo Sauce
This sauce takes only minutes to make I’ve been making this for years and I make it often for a quick alfredo sauce, this tends to separate if refrigerated then heated so it’s best to use it the same day it is made… yield is enough for 1 pound of cooked pasta
Yield 2-1/2 cups
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, cut into cubes (no substitutes)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy (35%) whipping cream
pinch nutmeg, optional but good to add
1/8 teaspoon dried basil (rubbed between fingers to release the flavor)
1 to 1-1/4 cups freshly garted Parmesan cheese
salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions:—————————————-
Place the butter and minced garlic in a minimum 4-cup microwave-safe bowl (I use my Pyrex measuring cup).
Microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes; remove and stir in the heavy cream, nutmeg, basil and black pepper.
Return to microwave uncovered on HIGH for another 2-3 minutes or until bubbly.
Remove and stir in the Parmesan cheese then return to the microwave for another 2-3 minutes or until thick and smooth.
Season with salt and more black pepper to taste.
